I just love the idiots who accuse her of not being a "real" woman. I seem to remember a similar crowd trying to tell me that Condoleza Rice wasn't "really" black. And then they dare to accuse conservatives of racism and sexism.

Palin's Christianity is not 'bizarre superstitious beliefs' by any sane standard.

Yeah, I always go to Bill Maher for my daily dose of wisdom and common sense.

And is Naomi Lakritz reacting to Palin, or the Tina Fey impression of her on Saturday Night Live?

Remember folks - as Kathy says, they're our intellectual and moral superiors.

I was invited to dinner the other night. A divorced BC Teacher at the table spouted derisively about Palin.

Editing out the curses and wild statements, her problem with Sarah seemed to be that Sarah wanted to control said teachers menopausal body. I asked her if controlling people was wrong, and got the usual of course reply. Then I asked her if it isn't true that pro-abortion laws control parents who don't want their 17 year old daughters to get an abortion. Her proud response was that 14 year olds can get an abortion in defiance of their parents wishes..... ha ha.

She declared game set match and with head held hight left for the ladies room.

Based on Lakritz' view of the CHRC that I read I don't think she'd last 20 seconds in a debate with Sarah Palin.

Obviously, Obama was not vetted closely enough otherwise there would not be genuine concerns about his place of birth and his connections with the Muslim world and with terrorist groups - not to mention a seemingly endless unexplained supply of money which keeps coming his way.

the political left are terrified of Sarah Palin because she's a real conservative and the electorate like her

by selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate, McCain has demonstrated that he is capable of making great decisions

Posted by: Brad at September 17, 2008 10:32 AM

It is completely un-American to hold the view that only the elite are fit to govern.

The American dream used to be that any little boy could grow up to be president. Now it's that any American child can grow up to be president, thanks to Sarah Palin.

My French-Canadian girlfriend was deriding Sarah Palin for only having a high school diploma. Turns out Sarah has a BA in Journalism, coincidentally, the chosen profession of both parents of my gf. They both worked for the CBC, so I guess her indoctrination is no surprise.

Posted by: Kyla at September 17, 2008 10:39 AM

You would be wise to accept that there's going to be a certain amount of "hocus pocus" in every normal human's makup. As forPalin's Chritian hocus pocus, what little I've heard seems quite normal and not anywhere near 'fundamentalist'. No books were banned from Alaska libraries, 'abstinence only' is not taught in Alaska schools, children from homes where creationism is taught should be allowed to discuss it in school when eveolution is presented (it might lead them to knowledge and open their minds to science). Anyway, Palin on her Christianity:

'I would never presume to know God’s will or to speak God’s words.

But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that’s a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side.

That’s what that comment was all about, Charlie. And I do believe, though, that this war against extreme Islamic terrorists is the right thing. It’s an unfortunate thing, because war is hell and I hate war, and, Charlie, today is the day that I send my first born, my son, my teenage son overseas with his Stryker brigade, 4,000 other wonderful American men and women, to fight for our country, for democracy, for our freedoms.

Charlie, those are freedoms that too many of us just take for granted. I hate war and I want to see war ended. We end war when we see victory, and we do see victory in sight in Iraq.

GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln’s words, but you went on and said, “There is a plan and it is God’s plan.”

PALIN: I believe that there is a plan for this world and that plan for this world is for good. I believe that there is great hope and great potential for every country to be able to live and be protected with inalienable rights that I believe are God-given, Charlie, and I believe that those are the rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That, in my world view, is a grand — the grand plan.

GIBSON: But then are you sending your son on a task that is from God?

PALIN: I don’t know if the task is from God, Charlie. What I know is that my son has made a decision. I am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made, what he decided to do and serving for the right reasons and serving something greater than himself and not choosing a real easy path where he could be more comfortable and certainly safer.'

"Who said she's evil? Yet another small dead straw man?? She is simply,completely unqualified to be a heartbeat away from the office of president of the USA."

uhh....if you read the list of quotes you'd have seen that that bitch Margret Cho called her evil. As for being "a heartbeat away from the president" how the hell do you explain Snoboma who actually wants to be that heartbeat.

She'd had executive experience as both a mayor and governor. Obamas executive experience is well.....not a sweet fucking thing.

Without leftards, I may be inclined to suggest that Palin isn't my cup of tea.

But the more leftards speak, the more I hope Palin wins.

I'd rather deal with social conservatives (who do not represent my way of thinking) than a$$hole leftards (who are opposed to everything I stand for) any day of the week.

As a libertarian, I would hope that Palin doesn't try to jam through any so-con religious stuff. I can support her because as governor of Alaska, she made exactly ZERO attempts to do so.

Leftards are just scum. Hypocritical, evil (in the secular, all-too-human meaning of the word) POS scum.

In other words, I don't like so-con policy. I loath and hate leftards. May the so-con win.

Kyla:

Ask your girlfriend about Harry Truman. He only had a high school diploma, and he turned out ok.

In my experience - and I'm a university professor - a degree is just a first-order indicator of one's abilities; it's a winnowing credential, and has at best high correlation to one's true abilities.

What matters, of course, are those true abilities and sensibilities, and here I'm solidly behind Sarah Palin.

Posted by: Mike at September 17, 2008 11:03 AM

In general, conservatives think liberals are naive, impractical, and cowardly. Liberals think that conservatives are stupid, bigoted, and evil.

It is very good for people to contemplate something bigger thsn themselves, sort of an Alcoholics-Anonymous style 'supreme being', something big, something good, something not centered on you. This aspect of human nature takes many forms and there's very good reasons why Christianity is one of the most successful. By the way, socialist collectivism is NOT good spirituality.

But hey, I'm feeding a troll, I'll stop now, the internet provides a constant flow of freaks advocating the eradication of religion.

Posted by: abcd at September 17, 2008 11:09 AM

The only thing that surprises me, after more than a decade of trashing Christians/evangelicals/Jews, is why any of them still belong to either the Democrat party in the US, or the Liberal/NDP parties here at home.

I mean seriously, how long does the writing have to be on the wall? Not only is your opinion not valued, it is not wanted and it is the target of open derision. You need to be honest with yourself; your political party wants to leave you behind, why are you still fighting that?

Every one of those comments was a purely personal attack, based on the facts that Sarah Palin is a) a woman, b) a mother and c) not born with a silver spoon in her mouth. I cannot imagine a male candidate ever being attacked this way.
I mean, Robert Kennedy had ELEVEN kids - did anyone, anywhere, even suggest that his parental duties would interfere with his political ones!

RE: abortion

I overheard a great exchange between my husband and my 35 yr/o niece the other day. She was going on and on about it was her body and no one, especially a MAN could tell her what to do with it. Hubby calmly looked at her "thank you.. that's exactly the attitude and message that allows us men to walk away scott free and feel no responsiblity. Men keep hearing that it's your body and you will do as you damn well please with it and if you damn well please to get preggers then it's no wonder a guy thinks it's not his problem. Good job convincing all those guys out there that they have no responsibily". My niece shut up and literally could not think of a come back.

Posted by: Annie at September 17, 2008 11:54 AM

The more low and negative attack articles about Sarah Palin the better. I suggest that the leftards who are putting these out, is to get them in every new-stand in the world where Americans live and vote.

They will find out when it comes to voting day how wrong they are.

In the real world where men and women work side by side in keeping the bills, house, transportation in order. Keeping up and informing the kids on social, scholastic education, sports and other programs, religious views of people whom associates with family. Trying to get the young adults ready for life in the general world is who is going to vote.

The leftards who are putting Sarah Palin down will find out that there are more people in the above description in everyday life with view similar with the McCain/Palin than Obama/Biden.

"Ironically, it's the women who actually have babies and make families--that is, the women who ensure the propogation of little women who will grow, one day, to be older women--who are always accused by the barren, dried-up, feminists of being unreal women."

well put

Posted by: Indiana Homez at September 17, 2008 12:22 PM

I believe that Palin's anti-abortion stance is the central reason for the feminists attacks. All the rest of their criticisms are questionable since Obama shares most of the same negatives - experience, religion, etc.

Beyond the argument of when life begins and women's rights, there is a bigger question. In one breath progressives champion unrestricted individual freedom and choice (abortion,drugs) but in the next they ask for bans, taxes and regulations on other personal activities: guns, smoking, packaging, food ingredients. Ironically often with the argument "think of the children". Even more odd is that the same progressives that talk about choice and women's reproductive rights say nothing about their fellow travelers, the enviro radicals, who want to to limit family size.

As usual, there seems to be no continuity between their stated values and their practice. Free choice but only in activities in which we approve. Unquestioning support of women's reproductive rights but complete silence on the population control agenda of the global warming zealots within their own party.

I guess their toleration and adherence to their central values comes and goes at whim.

Posted by: lynnh at September 17, 2008 12:43 PM

Egads! This rampant, hateful, defamatory Palinophobia being spewed from the so-called "progressives" makes one wonder if they might've learned to do this from Goebbels. What's next, are they going to call her an ape or a pig? Oh, wait... I believe Barack Obama already called her one of those... See?

The "progressives" are no better than the likes of Goebbels and Hamas.

Par for the course for "progressives" when they have nothing else... they make up malicious lies and hurl hateful insults. And they're more blatant and candid than ever.

Those "progressives"... so hateful. They make me sad, acting and carrying on as they do, ever so hatefully...

This should remind us all of the kind of society we'll get if we elect "progressives".

My favourite was #14 by Cintra Wilson of Salon. Very bold and expressive, a fine match to Palin's own extroverted personality.

Posted by: David at September 17, 2008 1:09 PM

lynnh:

Do you mean her opponents are threatened by Palin's real-time demonstration that she is pro life?

That's clearly her choice, therefore her own actions confirm her positive outlook on human life.

I do agree with you that the left are totally intolerant of any opinion other than their own.

The term ‘anti-abortion' is an attempt by the radical feminist death cult to portray those whose choice is for life, in a negative way.

My own opinion is that human life cannot possibly be a negative. Scratch the environmental movement, and you'll find similar anti-human sentiment.

I can't understand why these people hate themselves so much, but that's totally a consequence of their choices in attitude development.

Cheers.

I listen to the right on the radio (surprise, surprise) including Linbaug, Hannity, Levine etc. and its remarkable to hear the poeple who phone in (especially women) who are mobilizing to support McCain/Palin-mostly Palin. There are mothers all accross the US who are phoning to find out how to help get them elected. Its obvious that the surge in popularity of the ticket is due to the connection Palin has to the average "mom" in the country. and I'll bet that there are way more average moms than feminists. And one other point is that Americans in general , when polled, feel that the media is biased against Palin and for Obama (by 69%)

I find it amusing that lefties find it OK that Obama has ZERO experience to make him president (even his community organizer experience seems to have been a disaster)and his total resume is filled ewith lies,and innacuracies but they are willing to "throw the dice" with him while on the other hand they think Palin, who has a LOT of applicable executive experience, quite frankly, shouldn't be running for VP.

And lastly I find it amusing that just because the left thinks that religion is bad then it must be so.

That said, I really hope she gets in. Washington needs a good shakeup, and I really dislike some of these celebraties. With a republican executive, and a conservative majority, I see a slight chance of avoiding a situation similar to that in Europe.

Posted by: Liz J at September 17, 2008 1:53 PM

I think that Palin and feminists are both out of mainstream opinion regarding abortion. Palin is pro-life even in rape and incest cases and feminists want to have no limitations on abortions. Most people exist somewhere in between the two extremes. Palin will be vulnerable on this point. People may respect her commitment and consistency to her beliefs but still be uncomfortable with her viewpoint. I think that she will need to go further to assure voters that she would not force her ideas on others. The point I was trying to make though is that progressive and particularly progressive feminists seem to be quite selective and contradictory in their views. For example:

Progressive Feminists equate
Pro-life = bad ; Population control advocates = silence.
Christian men=evil ; Islamic men=silence.
Conservative working mothers=bad ; Progressive working mothers=good

Generic Progressives
Drugs = good ; tobacco=bad
Welfare-noble victim ; Fast food worker = product of poor choices to be mocked
Capitalism = unfair exploitation of workers; forced government redistribution through workers payroll taxes= social justice
Free choice = good only in progressive issues; Bans, taxes and regulation = always better

Posted by: lynnh at September 17, 2008 2:09 PM

I do not belive Sarah Palin is evil today I think she is dum oppourtunist
as usual republican never choose good employees to help them and never choose good partner to help them aboard
when repulcian in generla gave Sadam Hossain first he was dum arab man doing nothing

when you give ' big gun " and allsupport to him be come lead teh country and his neighbor knowing he was not qualify you made that dum man
to lead to become evil

NEVER Give gun in hand of small kid or dumm people because they may turn and shoot you too

and never trust woman who involve body selling and beauty queen to run politic for you

Unfortunalty the majority or people are not know taht prostitutioooon is come in so many kind and varity

and diff levesl but still all are under same umberlla

street prostituooon
supermodel
Miss USA and Queeen
chat and pornn groupp
escort to red carper show
muscian like Madonaa materioal girl
actoer who invovle in sexx and city as example
beach paties


all come from wrong and kind of adultry in mix of culture that need to move out

never woman or men who involve so much adultry or involve with one of above said albe to get trust to run the countries

then Sarah Palin is not evil
but McCain and repulican can lead her to taht road
teh best she just back to her regular job not to run the country


I bleive there is still so much problmes among republican and Liberal in genral politial partis in USA and that need so mauch change in their culture and cut the corruption and the most of all is I recommanded to all parties in USA especialy Reupublican:

Repulican need to go and get hire first good human resoures agency and team and counsulting lawyer teams before welomce anybody to their team and do search before hiring then that time they may fix thier prolbmes
and reduce embrasment to their party
and let this Palin go to her regular job stop made him evil he is not in that stage yet!!!

but she has potentiol to turn to active energy
do not give small girl big gun can be turn so much damage let her grow first every body can change but first should know what her weakness is to fix it if she can people deserve second chance give her another 8 years to back fresh
she is not qulify yet you can not blame of past for present in all the time but you can learn the lesson

Liz J.: I got the same response as Grandad and CJ, with some of my own quotes substituted for theirs. At least they (sort of!) sent out individualized responses.

I immediately wrote another letter to say that I was not satisfied with Mary Sheppard's weasel-word response--though, of course, I was much less direct.

Now I await the ombudsman's "review" and response. No doubt, he'll reiterate CBC's "pride in the excellence of [their] journalism" and the public's "expect[ation] that news stories on CBC NEWS.CA will be accurate, fair, unbiased and in all respects meet the rigorous criteria set out in the CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices."

Just because the CBC says that their excellence, fairness, accuracy, and lack of bias meet "rigorous journalistic criteria" doesn't mean that they actually do. I can say that my house is pink (it's actually red brick) because I'd like it to be pink, but wanting it to be pink and saying that it is pink doesn't make it pink.

Posted by: batb at September 17, 2008 5:43 PM

None of the candidates for POTUS have the credentials that one might hope for. Out of the lot, Palin has the most applicable experience. Obama has no experience that would make him a credible president. McCain, Obama, and Biden have no real executive experience. Of those three, two are one vote away from the presidency, the other is a heartbeat away, just like Palin would be.

I think the left's attacks on Palin demonstrate a severe case of the jitters. She scares the hell out of them, so they do what they do best, try to create scandal, lies, and inuendos. At least Palin is a real person, not a manufactured candidate like Obama, a person who is so shallow that he has to stand in the same place twice to cast a shadow.

The US is reeling from policies created by Clinton and Gore. George Bush is probably the worst president, at least since Nixon, possibly in the history of the USofA. It does not follow that another republican would not be better any more than electing a democrate would, remember Clinton and Carter.

A new republican president would not be required to continue Bush's policies any more than they would have to adopt his lack of command of the english language and goofy mannerisms.

This meme of "She's not really a woman" directed at Sarah Palin or "She's not really black" directed at Condi Rice, are subtexts of the larger "They're not really humans" (Untermensch) directed by the National Socialists against variously Jews, Slavs, Gypsies etc.
It's a convenient psychological defence mechanism that allows one to avoid dealing with dissenting world views, or inconvenient individuals and circumstances who would otherwise force one to question one's rather elevated opinion of oneself, one's own moral virtue, or the absolute rectitude of one's beliefs. For if there exists a Sarah Palin who, by adhering to conservative principles, can be successful, dynamic, apparently happy, and popular, or a Condi Rice who can be likewise successful, then lib/lefties must confront the real possibility that their prescriptions may not be the only path to success, happiness, or fulfillment.
The meme exposes a distressing absolutism and hypocrisy. If Condi is not black and Sarah Palin is not a woman, or the Jews are not humans, then the most vitriolic bile (or in the case of National Socialism outright murder) can be visited upon them and their accomplishments while clinging to the delusion that one is in favor of women's liberation, black power/racial equality or cultured civilization. And one's infallible formula for success cannot be questioned either since these obvious contra examples can be dismissed. It reinforces my observation in a previous thread that liberalism/socialism is, at its core, a religion.

Posted by: DrDave at September 17, 2008 6:31 PM

It seems to me that Governor Palin is doing a reasonable job at not only following the Scriptural principles in regards to her family but also in another area.

I Peter 3

14But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,

15but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;

16and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

17For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.

Brent:

Glenn Beck pointed out this principle about Sarah Palin that the utopian marxist atheist left demographic will never understand.

Her history shows that she took on the corrupt Republicans in Alaska and did an internal housecleaning of her own party.

This was in the context of the investment banking sector meltdown where Beck states neither party in Washington did anything about.

Palin is the only Washington outsider on either ticket and comes with a promise to clean out the corruption that has saddled the US taxpayer with trillions of dollars of corporate welfare.

The US voter is fed up with both parties ... witness the 9% approval rating of congress and the reformer that is Palin will become increasingly attractive when Joe Lunchbucket finally figures out he's stuck with the tab.

Look not for the speck of dust in your neighbour's eye when you have a piece of wood in your own eye. Not an exact quotation, but underlining the fact that Palin will be tougher on the Republicans at first to assure a return to integrity.

First party that can show the voter they're willing to clean up their own party, as Palin did in Alaska, gets the key to the White House.

That's experience that can be counted on.

Set:
I suppose that it is possible that she is hated for expectations of reform in the way things are done in Washington. However, I sense the real reason is the Christian social conservative world-view.

Brent:

I'm with you on the reasons the priviledged left hates her.

Geez, even Dick Cheney didn't feel the wrath until AFTER he got into office.

Beck's point is that she created ripples and enjoys a 79% approval rating in Alaska because she's willing to take on the establishment of her own party ... not merely be involved in partisan fights.

Compared to the other three candidates, all members of the US Senate, she is definitely an outsider. I'm betting the US voter has enough savvy to figure that out.

Oh, buck up and show some spirit, people. We can play this game too, can't we?

How's this:

There's something about Obama - can't identify it, really - that I can't recognize or feel comfortable with. And then there's the bizarre fact, which I just made up, that *no one has ever seen his feet*. Yeah. It's hard to disguise the cloven goat-hooves of Ba'al. Not saying, mind you, just saying.

Hare's breath for hair's-breadth? Thinking human!

It's not a matter of hating "her/him". Every thinking human should be disturbed at the shallowness of a process that would elevate this non-entity, this empty "skirt/shirt", to within a hare's breath of one of the most critically powerful political positions on the planet.

Substitiute him for her and shirt for skirt and I believe Obama woul be the subject of discussion.

why is it that the truly dim bulbs are the bright lights of the left?

I find it interesting, in a sad way, that the vilest smears are from women and in fact most of the top 14 are from women.

If I, a Canuck male of anglo-saxon heritage (well, partly) ever dared to say things like this about Liz May or any leftoid bra burner, I would be summarily drawn and quartered after the HRCs are finished ruining me financialy.

I don't know if it's always a good idea to delete a leftist troll's comments well after the fact. It appears lots of people read this blog, left and right, and exposure to such an unintelligent, bigot, with little to spout but insults, may turn people off of being in the same political category.

In other words, he's a good recruitment tool.

So some go out of their way to raise awareness of deplorable comments made by a farmer hating individual and you (Lance) come along and arbitrarily delete all reference to said individual. Maybe you should start a thread on Agriculture so that those of us who are keen on calling BS by it's name won't stray off topic.
Grrr.
